- Only append valid preferred-true hints to filtered
- Return true if allResourceHints only consist of
nil-affinity/preferred-true hints: {nil true}, update defaultHint
preference accordingly.
Explanation taken from original commit:
- Change the current method of finding the best hint.
Instead of going over all permutations, sort the hints and find
the narrowest hint common to all resources.
- Break out early when merging to a preferred hint is not possible
- Remove need to pass policy and numaNodes as arguments
- Remove PolicySingleNUMANode special case check in policy_best_effort
- Add mergeProviderHints base to policy_single_numa_node for upcoming
commit
This abstraction moves the responsibility of merging topology hints to
the individual policies themselves. As part of this, it removes the
CanAdmitPodResult() API from the policy abstraction, and rolls it into a
second return value from Merge()
This patch fixes an issue where best-effort pods were not admitted
to the node if the single-numa-node policy was set.
This was because the Admit policy in single-numa-node policy does
not admit any pod where the hint is anything but single NUMA node. The 'best hint' in this case is {<set bits for num. Numa Nodes on machine>, true}
So on a machine with 2 NUMA nodes the best hint for a best-effort pod is {11,true} as best-effort pods have no Topology preferences.
The single-numa-node policy fails any pod with a not preferred hint OR a hint where > 1 bits are set, thus the above example resulting in termintaed pods with a Topology Affinity Error.
This is a short term fix for the single-numa-node policy, as there will be code refactoring for the 1.17 release.
